There aren’t many things that can improve just sitting down with good friends and playing a game, or just relaxing — unless it’s doing the same thing with something good to drink at hand. It could be something enhanced with some good old fashioned ethanol, or not, depending on your preference.

We’d like to suggest, at least, that if you choose to prepare a drink for yourself for Father’s / National GeekDad Day — or, better, to have someone else prepare it for you — you make it a geeky drink. Herewith are some suggestions from myself and several of my fellow GeekDad writers for ways to “geek up” your drinks tomorrow. My thanks to Ethan Gilsdorf, Jason Cranford Teague, Raymond Masters, and Curtis Silver for their assistance in preparing this list.

Have you ever noticed certain cocktails are perfect for specific geeky pursuits? Whether it’s a special kind of ‘tini for tinkering or a hearty grog for saluting an awesome rocket launch, we (non-teetotaler) adults appreciate a cocktail that complements our hobbies. Here are some examples to sample over this long weekend as you pursue whatever it is that makes your geeky heart happy:

Sissy KlingonActivity: Good for softening the blow of ‘The Undiscovered Country.’

If you can’t handle real Blood Wine, pataQ, try this one out. Strong, sweet and sophisticated, just like Worf circa TNG, when he couldn’t win a fight to save his life.
